Aayat's mother is murdered by the militants, thus forcing her father Ghulam Rasool (Kamal Chopra) and her Chacha Maharaj Kishan to send her along with her aunt to Mallukot.

Aayat has been staying there for the past seven years, after losing her relative in the 1993 Bombay bombings, and Harry, now a squadron leader, has been sent there by the Indian Air Force on a special assignment.

In order to dislodge the enemy from Tiger Hill, the Indian Air Force resorts to heavy aerial bombardment.

Mistakenly believing that Aayat is married, he begins to feel that all hope is lost and decides to completely forget her.

As a result of these attacks, there is a sudden surge in hate crimes against Muslims in the USA and Europe, prompting Akram and Aayat to return to Ahmedabad.

In early August 2010, Nawman Malik claimed that the title Mausam is registered under his name and filed a complaint with the Association of Motion Pictures and TV Programme Producers.

Now, Mallik has moved the Mumbai High Court asking for an injunction against producer Sheetal Talwar and director Pankaj Kapur for using the title.

He has demanded a compensation of Rs 10 million for the title and has submitted a digital film called Mausam, which he claims he made.

The Air Force were objecting to a dramatic action fight sequence with Shahid on board a Mirage fighter plane.

[6] Zee News bureau gave the film 4 stars saying "‘Mausam’ can be best described as a wonderful blend of offbeat and mainstream cinema which is full of charm, elegance and vivacity.

"[7] Nikhat Kazmi of Times Of India rated it three out of five saying "The film tries to strike a balance between art and mainstream cinema and succeeds partially.

It won't be erroneous to state that Shahid surpasses all his previous performances, including the one in Kaminey, with this film.

"[10]Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN rated the movie 2 out of 5, saying, "Director Pankaj Kapur infuses his story and his characters with a delicate, old-fashioned charm that is pleasing and quaint at first, but gets progressively exhausting when logic goes out of the window"[11] The film made with the budget of Rs.

380 million, opened good at the box office but collections fell on after a week at release of force and the film grossed Rs.

One of them is sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal and is a romantic track by Pritam "Zara Si Mehndi"; the other is sung by Shreya Ghoshal, a romantic track "Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar", adapted from the 1961 Hindi film Hum Dono.
